|
<para>Many reports share similar sorts of options. Some common ones
|
|
include:
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis><anchor id="xacc-options-report-title">Report Title</emphasis></para>
|
|
<para>Set the title of the report. This doesn't affect anything
|
|
else, but can be handy if you need to print the report for later
|
|
viewing.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis><anchor id="xacc-options-date">Date Options</emphasis></para>
|
|
<para>Reports typically allow you to specify either a single date, or
|
|
a date range, for the report. Dates can be specified in two ways:
|
|
directly (using the date selector), or selecting a "relative" date
|
|
from the menu. Relative dates allow you to specify dates like "the
|
|
beginning of this year" or "today", and are highly convenient for
|
|
doing "rolling reports".</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis><anchor id="xacc-options-interval">Interval/Step Size</emphasis></para>
|
|
<para>This option is used on bar charts to determine the interval
|
|
which each bar represents. Typical values are daily, weekly,
|
|
monthly, and yearly.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis><anchor id="xacc-options-accounts">Accounts</emphasis></para>
|
|
<para>Most reports give you the opportunity to select the appropriate
|
|
accounts. Note that some reports only allow you to select certain
|
|
types of accounts - for instance, an expense piechart only allows
|
|
expense accounts to be selected. </para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis><anchor id="xacc-options-include-subaccounts">
|
|
Include Subaccounts?</emphasis></para>
|
|
<para>Summary reports typically have "include all subaccounts" option,
|
|
which if selected ensures that all subaccounts are included if the
|
|
parent account is.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis><anchor id="xacc-options-depth">Depth</emphasis></para>
|
|
<para>This option allows the selection of how "deep" the
|
|
report displays subaccounts. If the subaccounts go deeper
|
|
than selected, most reports will calculate an overall value
|
|
for all the subaccounts and include it in a higher-level
|
|
total. If you want to make sure every account selected is
|
|
individually displayed, select "All".</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis><anchor id="xacc-options-style-sheet">Style Sheet</emphasis></para>
|
|
<para>Select a Style Sheet. Style sheets control how reports are
|
|
displayed. At the moment, there are two style sheets,
|
|
"default" and "technicolor". You can customize each of these from
|
|
the global Style Sheet menu item.</para>

<listitem>
|

<para><emphasis><anchor id="xacc-options-plot-dimensions">Plot
|
|
Dimensions</emphasis></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>There are "Width" and "Height"
|
|
options for most of the graphs, which specify the
|
|
displayed dimensions
|
|
(in pixels).</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis><anchor id="xacc-options-report-currency">Report Currency</emphasis></para>
|
|
<para>Most reports allow you to select the report currency (the default
|
|
is your "home" currency). Generally, values will be converted to
|
|
this currency for graphical display or summarization.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis><anchor id="xacc-options-price-source">Price Source</emphasis></para>
|
|
<para>Select how stock and currency prices are calculated in this report.
|
|
You can choose a weighted average of prices over all transactions,
|
|
prices at current values, or prices at the time of the report date.</para>
